After an unexpected year in her native Australia, usually New York based international voice-over artist, singer-songwriter and motivational speaker, Karen Jacobsen celebrates the release of her new album READY FOR WHAT I CAME HERE FOR on November 4th, 2021.  Ten cinematic, piano-driven songs with powerful female vocals and inspiring messages; the new album READY FOR WHAT I CAME HERE FOR is the music with a message the world needs right now.  The title track is an expression of her quest to make a difference and find deeper purpose in life. Produced by Matt Anthony (Darius Rucker, Shinedown, Pat Monahan of Train) at Engine Sound in New York City, recording began in September of 2019 before the interruption of the pandemic. After almost a year, video sessions and remote recording enabled the completion of the record between Karen's new location half a world away near Australia's Great Barrier Reef, and Matt's studio in the North-East of the United States (9560 miles to be exact).

The University's Outstanding Alumni Awards recognise and celebrate the diverse achievements of alumni, across their fields of endeavour and in their communities.

Karen Jacobsen will EmCee the gala event.

Mackay-born, and usually New York-based, international voice-over artist, singer-songwriter, and motivational speaker, Karen Jacobsen will perform an intimate concert as the finale for the Whitsunday Arts Festival. Perhaps she has given you directions, her voice is in over a billion devices as the original Aussie voice of “Siri”, but her natural habitat is live on stage.

Karen will perform her piano driven and timeless melodic songs along with excerpts from her show “Mackay to Manhattan a Musical Memoir”. Her powerful vocals and impactful storytelling will leave you entertained and inspired.
